Treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome

Abstract

Stevens-Johnson syndrome with oral cavity, skin, ocular, genital involvement appears to be a form of erythema multiforme. The etiology of erythema multiforme is not clear, but it is related to infection, food allergy, drug allergy, radiation therapy, and so on. For treatment, drugs like corticosteroids and acyclovir are mainly used. This study presents a case report of a male patient with Stevens-Johnson syndrome which was well controlled by medication (steroid).
